I am not an entertainer so I purchased my tray because the white marble insert was so pretty, thinking I would use it simply for bathroom vanity item- well, I was wrong! Once I had it, I found myself *wanting* to entertain so I could use the Christmas insert or bamboo insert. This came SO in handy during the holidays and for potluck parties - super easy (and pretty) to carry my tray of sandwiches to my friends/family’s. Overall- love! I keep finding new uses and fresh inserts make it exciting! 4 stars because I only wish it had a lid!
